Hello all,
Today I noticed my bearded dragon, Annabella, with her head nearly half out of her hide. I am keeping her in a cool place for hibernation, but recently temperatures rose unexpectedly and temps were up to 16-17,5 degrees C in the room, and the dragon was tricked by the weather. Upon taking her out, she was somewhat active. She puffed her body, as she usually does when disturbed from hibernation, and the hissed. She was moderately active, and climbed on her basking spot under her turned off lamp. It was night anyway, and she could not bask, but she was searching for heat again. Finally I put her into her hide again, stuffed the insulative paper strips back in, and left her alone. What should I do now? I had her in hibernation from November 18 and I was planning to wake her up in early March. I think that temperatures will fall again and nothing is needed. On the other hand, if she becomes active again, I might need to wake her up. Any intervention will be done next week because now I will be away for a short while. What do you think?
